Baring my soul. Now gimme a twenty!

[chaotic_nipple]

You know, there are times when I wish I was a girl. Not for messy psychological reasons, mind you, I'm perfectly happy with the factory installed equipment. No, my reasons are purely practical: A) It's socially acceptable for girls to be housewives, and spend all day raising up the kids, and B) Girls get to carry purses.

You can fit all _kinds_ of useful stuff in a purse. If I could carry one, I'd never have to go without earplugs if I go into a noisy club, or tylenol if I had a sudden headache, or matches if I wanted to burn something. It would be glorious, I tell you, GLORIOUS!

Yes, I hear you: "Why don't you just carry a purse anyway, rebellious non-conformist that you are?" It's not that simple. While I don't mind being socially unacceptable, per se, doing so would be a constant reminder that society has not yet remolded itself in accordance with _my_ wishes. No budding evil genius wants to have to think about that. :-P

My fiance tends to carry his lap-top bag with him everywhere, and he keeps the necessities in it (advil, kleenex, extra headphones, etc.)

I love my Victorinox bag though. It's a sling bag that looks like a miniature backpack and has an ergnomically correct swivel on the strap and a nifty cell phone pocket. My dad carried one when they went to Italy and said it was so sporty he didn't actually feel like he was carrying a purse.

I shall remember that. It may be difficult to find here in Madison, if it's not made of hemp. ;-)
